Description
This colorful no-cook stained glass gelatin cake combines cubes of rainbow Jell-O with creamy white gelatin for a fun, retro dessert.
Ingredients
•
5 (3 ounce) packages sweetened gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®), 5 different colors
•
3 1/2 cups boiling water, divided
•
3 1/2 cups cold water, divided
•
cooking spray
•
1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin powder
•
1 (14 1/10 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
•
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1
Pour each gelatin mix into a separate bowl. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water into one bowl and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes; stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Repeat to dissolve remaining gelatin colors. Refrigerate all bowls until completely set, 4 hours to overnight.
2
Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
3
Remove gelatin from the refrigerator and slice each color into cubes. Transfer cubes to a bowl and gently toss together to mix colors randomly. Transfer into the prepared pan.
4
Pour remaining 1 cup cold water into a bowl and sprinkle unflavored gelatin over top; let sit until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup boiling water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.
5
Combine condensed milk, cream, gelatin mixture, and vanilla in a blender. Blend until smooth and well mixed, about 30 seconds. Pour evenly over gelatin cubes in the cake pan. Use a spatula to evenly distribute milk mixture.
6
Refrigerate until set, 4 hours to overnight.
7
Run a knife along the sides of the cake pan and carefully invert cake onto a plate.
